Roper is a shoe that combines leather craft and sneakers.
The high-quality leather upper and durable sole are assembled without adhesive.
We have achieved a comfortable fit that makes you want to wear them every day.
More than 90% of the shoes you see every day are manufactured using adhesives.
Most of the adhesives used are organic solvent types.
When it sticks, it evaporates and releases toxic vapors.
That's why ventilation equipment is essential in shoe factories.
But you can't completely vent it.
Project Loper was started from the desire to design a manufacturing system that would be safer for the working conditions and health of those involved in shoe manufacturing.
Normally, shoemaking requires expensive equipment investment and skilled techniques.
Instead of mass production, we use local materials to create high-quality products that incorporate local characteristics.
By creating a system that allows products to be purchased from trusted people, we aim to create a cycle that makes both users and producers rich and happy.

What you make
Please try on the samples and then decide.
Each instructor has a different selection of materials.
★ For those who want to experience it easily in 2-3 hours.
★★ You can make shoes that incorporate the basics of LOPER. We recommend beginners start here.
★★★ Many parts and possibilities mean more work. If you're used to crafting, you'll have no problem making this.
★★★★ Many holes to punch and many parts mean a lot of work.
★★★★★ We recommend making this as your second pair after making your first and understanding the basics of LOPER.

More than 90% of the shoes you see every day are manufactured using adhesives.
Many of the adhesives used are solvent-based.
They volatilize as they bond, producing toxic fumes.
That's why shoe factories require ventilation equipment.
However, complete exhaust is not possible.
Normally, shoemaking requires expensive equipment and skilled techniques.
We aim to create high-quality products that incorporate local characteristics and use local materials, without mass production.
